The Ann Terry Project is sponsored by the Ann Terry Society. The Society helps women living in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality enter the paid workforce by providing career development services that are women centered and community based.

The Not-for-Profit Society is made up of volunteers from our community who are committed to achieving equality for women and ensuring that women are given the opportunity to reach their full potential through personal growth, education, skills development, and employment.

The Ann Terry Project, named in honour of the late Ann Terry Mac Lellan, a renowned broadcaster and Devco official, has been in operation since January of 1986. Read More.
